Re: Brexit Development(s) Discussion
It's certainly a fascinating case and could potentially mark a significant change in the relations between the roles of the three pillars of UK democracy (Executive, Legislative and Judicial). As I see it, the heart of the question is when, why and how one branch, the Executive can close another, the Legislative.
Closing of Parliament is a thing of course but this case will establish whether conditions need to be applied to this. The hypothetical situations put forward by John Major are a good argument for a conditional prorogation.
All fascinating stuff!
My predictions - too close to call. I'm sitting on the fence for this one...
